We got 27.3 miles/gallon with cruise control set at 82mph most of the time over a 3400 mile vacation with luggage and three adults. No complaints about mileage from me. I've gotten as high as 31 when alone but not at Interstate speeds.

It's a very nice dependable daily driver in my book. It will let you merge with no problem onto the Interstate. Comfortable but it's no sports sedan or luxury sedan just depends on your frame of reference I guess. You don't get that at this price level IMHO. Even with new Michelins I feel there's too much road noise. We will be keeping it for many years and would recommend it.
